Sheer Curtains Mickleham — Custom Made for New Homes, Professionally Installed, 5-Year Warranty
Mickleham sits at an interesting point in Melbourne’s northern story — between the now-established Craigieburn corridor to the south-west and the even-newer Donnybrook development unfolding to the north, a suburb whose residential character is still being written. Families moving into Mickleham are doing so with purpose: they want the size and price point that the outer north delivers, the access that the Hume Freeway provides, and increasingly, the community infrastructure that growing suburbs acquire once enough households are in place. New World of Blinds is based in Campbellfield — City of Hume, same local government area as Mickleham. We have been manufacturing and installing window furnishings across this corridor since 2005, and we bring that experience to every Mickleham home we visit.
Our business is run by Matt and Oz. They oversee every job personally — the initial measure, the manufacturing decisions at our Campbellfield facility, and the installation by our own employed team. Nothing is outsourced. Every sheer curtain leaves our facility made to the dimensions of your specific windows, not a standard size trimmed to fit. And everything is backed by a 5-year warranty on product and installation alike.
Wave/ S-Fold Curtains, Mickleham -
Wave/S-Fold curtains are one of the most popular types of curtains. Wave/S-fold curtains are the curtains that look just like a wave or a long S pattern that continues for the length of the window/wall and its covering. The soft flowing wave effect allows the fabric to drape stunningly, and the overall appearance creates a modern, trending look to your room/covering. Wave/S-fold curtains add a touch of class and elegance to your home.
Pleated Curtains
Eyelet Curtains
Eyelet curtains are where the top of the curtain has round eyelets or grommets pressed into the fabric. The curtain is then threaded onto a track/pole that threads through each of the eyelets in a wave like formation.
What Mickleham Homes Have in Common with Each Other
Walk through any Mickleham estate and the window story is consistent. Double-storey homes with large voids and high windows in the entrance hall. Single-storey homes with wide open-plan living areas where a six-metre span of glass faces the backyard. Master suites with north-facing windows that receive morning sun year-round. Children’s bedrooms that back onto neighbouring fences with barely a metre of separation between houses.
Each of these scenarios has a window furnishing implication. The void windows need a track system that can handle height without warping or sagging. The open-plan glass wall needs a treatment that controls radiant heat in summer without making the alfresco feel disconnected during the months when it’s most useful. The master suite needs both the soft privacy of a sheer layer during daylight and complete blackout when sleep is the priority. The children’s rooms need privacy from close neighbours without turning bedrooms into dark boxes.
Sheer curtains — and the double-track system that pairs them with a blockout layer — address every one of these scenarios:
- High-quality track systems rated for ceiling heights up to 3.6m cover Mickleham’s taller ceiling voids without deflection.
- S-Fold fabric on a ceiling-track runs the full width of wide-span living area glass cleanly, stacking neatly to either side.
- The inner sheer layer preserves northern light and backyard visibility during summer while cutting direct radiation.
- The outer blockout layer provides sleep-quality darkness and complete street privacy whenever it’s drawn.
- Children’s rooms get daytime privacy from close neighbours and overnight darkness that supports better sleep.
- UV filtration from day one slows the fading of new timber-look floors and carpet before it becomes noticeable.
Fabric and Heading Style Options
S-Fold on Ceiling Track
This is the configuration we install most often in Mickleham. The track mounts directly to the ceiling — either surface-fixed or recessed into a plaster bulkhead if one has been built in — and the fabric clips onto the track at set intervals to produce a flowing, even wave. The system handles wide spans without sagging, manages height well, and stacks completely clear of the glass when open. Fabric choice is wide: lightweight voile, linen sheer, or heavier woven materials all work on this track system. For homeowners who want to automate curtains as part of a broader smart home setup, motorised S-Fold tracks are compatible with all major platforms.
Eyelet on Rod
Where S-Fold’s precision isn’t what the room calls for — a study nook, a sunroom, a secondary bedroom — an eyelet curtain on a decorative rod brings a different quality of warmth. The rod can be timber, brushed brass, matte black, or chrome depending on the interior palette. The loops produced by the eyelet heading are softer and more informal than a track wave, and the installation involves fewer components. A good choice for homeowners who want a considered finish in secondary spaces without the full track-system investment.
Linen Sheer Fabric
Standard voile fabrics are light, affordable, and effective as a solar filter. Linen sheer fabrics are a step up in every respect: the fibre has natural variation that creates a more textured surface, the weight makes the curtain hang more substantively, and the appearance in a room reads as deliberate rather than functional. For Mickleham homes where the interior is still being furnished, linen sheers are often the first element that makes a house feel like it has been styled rather than simply occupied. Available in a range from almost white to warm flax to natural oat.
The Case for Installing Both Tracks at Once
The double-track system is a more significant upfront investment than sheers alone. It is also consistently the more cost-effective choice over a five-year horizon. Installing sheer and blockout tracks together means one measure visit, one manufacturing run, one installation appointment. Returning to add the blockout layer later means a second measure visit to confirm that room dimensions haven’t been affected by furniture placement, a second manufacturing run, and a second installation appointment — with all the associated labour costs. The tracks are also designed to work together visually when installed simultaneously; adding one after the other rarely produces the same clean result.
